OMAHA – Jace Peters admits he’s having the time of his life playing college soccer for the team he idolized as a youngster growing up in Glenwood.

“I guess you could say it has always been a dream to play at Creighton,” Peters said during an interview last weekend. “I watched plenty of Creighton soccer games before I was ever on the team. Being around this area and playing club soccer in Omaha, you get to know the program.”

Fremont-Mills football coach Jeremy Christiansen was careful not to use the word “revenge” in describing his team's 69-26 thrashing of the team that eliminated his Knights in last year's state semifinals.

The East Mills football team got a crucial fourth down stop on defense to hold its lead in the final minutes of a 42-36 second-round victory over Glidden-Ralston in the state Eight-man playoffs Monday.

Two weeks to the day after a wild, 80-49 shootout victory over East Mills in the regular-season finale, Fremont-Mills will face the Wolverines once more on Friday in the Eight-man state playoff quarterfinals.

The Glenwood football season came to end on Friday with a 49-6 loss at Carroll.

The 7-2 Tigers out-yarded the Rams (1-8) 376 to 147 and forced five turnovers in the lopsided win.
Glenwood coach Brian Albert said his team’s inability to sustain drives - the Rams punted on their first four drives and trailed 21-0 early - and untimely giveaways were the difference.
